[Childcare] Perfect for April: Wall decoration ideas to celebrate starting school and moving up a grade

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

April marks the start of a new school year!

Here are some wall display ideas for celebrating nursery school enrollment and class promotion.

Use these as a reference to create lovely wall displays that express the children’s growth and excitement.

First, unifying everything with a colorful theme is a great recommendation!

Incorporate seasonal illustrations and motifs to create a bright, fun atmosphere.

Ideas that include the class name on the wall are also enjoyable.

Have fun creating a wall display that helps children feel a sense of belonging!

Cute spring wall decoration: 'Rapeseed flowers'

Let’s make rapeseed blossoms with adorable clusters of tiny flowers! Here are some ideas for creating rapeseed flowers.

Instead of origami, using construction paper lets you create larger, more impressive pieces.

You’ll need colored construction paper, scissors, glue or tape, a stapler, and a ruler.

It’s also fun to play with shades of yellow and yellow-green—adjusting the hues can create a gentle feel or a bold, striking look.

Celebrate children’s enrollment and advancement with a dynamic wall display.

Would you like to make a three-dimensional, colorful hot-air balloon wall decoration? Cut five colors of construction paper into circles, fold them in half, and glue them together to form a hemisphere.

This will be the balloon’s envelope.

Once you attach the envelope to the base, add a basket below and paste an illustration of a character happily riding in the balloon.

Draw lines with a pen to connect the basket and the envelope, and it’s complete.

The illustrations can be hand-drawn by the children, or you could paste photos of graduating students, which would be lovely.

If you secretly write a message on the balloon, it might feel like a treasure hunt and delight everyone!

Hot air balloon made with tissue paper

Here’s an idea for a hot air balloon craft made by connecting a tissue-paper-covered balloon envelope with a basket decorated with photos of the graduating children.

The look of the balloon changes depending on the tissue paper you use, so it becomes a piece that expresses each graduate’s individuality.

If you’re looking for ideas that use graduates’ photos as decorations for the graduation ceremony, this is definitely worth a try.

Displaying them grouped by class makes them easy to view, and seeing the faces of the friends they’ve spent time with will put the children in a happy mood.

It’s also an idea you can use as a photo spot!

The technique is fun! Balloon wall

https://www.tiktok.com/@pippi_seisaku/video/7541981832770800914

Here’s a cute hot air balloon craft you can make using finger painting and pastel techniques! First, cut construction paper into a balloon shape and place drops of your favorite paint colors on it.

Cover it with plastic wrap, mix the paint with your hands as you like, then remove the wrap—that’s it! Tip: Tape down the plastic wrap so it doesn’t move.

Next, for the pastel version, shave the pastel through a tea strainer and tap it on with your finger.

Once it’s applied all over, rub it in circular motions with a tissue for a soft, airy look.

Try arranging it to match different seasons!

Make it with foam parts! Hot air balloon decoration

Here’s a fun project where you can float kids’ favorite items together with a hot air balloon motif.

First, prepare a styrofoam ball and decorate it in any color you like.

Wrap twine around two bamboo skewers, insert them into the ball, and attach them with glue.

Glue the opposite ends of the skewers to a small, palm-sized flowerpot.

Next, insert a wire into the top of the ball, thread fishing line or string through it, and hang it from the ceiling to finish.

You can put in various things like stuffed animals, flowers, or sweets—just enjoy while being mindful of the weight.

Soaring balloons!

Here’s a decoration I highly recommend that kids can play with.

They’ll get to enjoy making a hot air balloon float with their own hands! First, cut a paper cup down to about half its height and use the side with the bottom.

Inside the paper cup, attach two straws diagonally, then attach an inflated balloon to the ends of the straws to make the balloon part of the hot air balloon.

On the outside of the paper cup, attach two short straws in the shape of the kanji “八” (like a wide V).

Thread a string—tipped with a straw at one end—through those straws, and you’re done.

If you hook the string onto something like a hook, you can make the hot air balloon float!

Here’s an idea for a hot-air balloon craft that uses a paper plate as the balloon envelope.

Design it by gluing torn pieces of origami paper onto the plate.

Once the envelope is ready, attach it with ribbons to a paper basket decorated with drawings of the children, and it’s complete! Decorations for graduation ceremonies often include gifts from the children who are still enrolled.

Because torn-paper collage is accessible even for infants, everyone can participate in sharing their celebratory feelings.

While wishing the graduates a bright future, make colorful and wonderful hot-air balloons.
